    Will loading the same JAR from several EARs increase PermGen

      I have three EARs deployed under JBoss each of which have a copy of a set of JARs. I'd like to keep these JARs at the EAR level (instead of server/lib) for reasons not worth mentioning here.

      My question is: does having copies of these JARs in each EAR increase the amount of PermGen space required by the JVM?

      Sample deployment structure:

      foo.ear
      foo.ear/lib1.jar
      foo.ear/lib2.jar
      foo.ear/lib3.jar
      foo.ear/foo.war
      foo.ear/foo.ear

      bar.ear
      bar.ear/lib1.jar
      bar.ear/lib2.jar
      bar.ear/lib3.jar
      bar.ear/bar.war

      blah.ear
      blah.ear/lib1.jar
      blah.ear/lib2.jar
      blah.ear/lib3.jar
      blah.ear/blah.war
